A big issue for parents is how much pocket money they should give their children. One student revealed that his monthly pocket money is only 1,500 yuan, and his daily expenses include breakfast money on weekdays, and Dinner money was paid for tutoring two days a week, but the total was not enough. He could understand his parents’ difficulties, so he planned to work to earn pocket money, but his parents did not agree, which made him very distressed.

The netizen posted on the Facebook group “Anonymous Commune” that his family gives him 1,500 yuan in living expenses every month. His basic expenses include breakfast money for school on weekdays, breakfast money for tutoring on Sundays, and dinner money for tutoring two days a week. However, he is almost overdrafted every month. “I discussed it with my family, and they said that money is like this, and they said that I don’t know how to manage money or spend it. How should I spend it better?” He also mentioned working to his parents, but But it was shot down and rejected.

The original PO explained that in fact, the family’s financial life is not a big problem. They mostly buy outside food and eat well, such as omelette rice, porridge, udon noodles, rice cakes, pig’s trotter rice, etc. However, their parents do not have much money on hand. It’s considered loose, but there really isn’t any extra money for him to spend. “I understand they have their difficulties.”

After the post was exposed, netizens commented, “Dinner alone is not enough. My meal expenses were more than this 20 years ago.” “With the current price of 1,500 a month, I can’t even eat enough.” ! Otherwise, they will be malnourished! They are still growing.” “Are the prices in your family’s minds still stuck in my grandma’s time? If you can’t afford the money, you have no right to restrict whether people want to work or not, and if you don’t give them food, why don’t they? Are you asking people to fend for themselves? Are you deliberately trying to make people starve to death?”

Others suggested, “Work secretly, 1,500 is really too hard”, “Don’t worry about what they say about not working, just make your own decisions about your life”, “I don’t think you should take 1,500, and then invite your family “Prepare breakfast and dinner”, “Write down a month’s expenses in an accounting format and show it to your parents. Write in detail. Write down clearly what you bought and how much it cost. Show it to them, and then ask them to give you advice on where you can save money. ! Today they think you don’t know how to save money, so throw the problem back to them and ask them for advice!”
